Agentic delivery, led by Daniel Grimes

Senior engineering, shipped into production

Built the same way

DBHQ's own products and open projects are built with the agentic delivery it sells.

The open projects are public, so you can inspect the method for yourself.

DBHQ takes a small number of engagements at a time, so the principal who scopes the work leads it through to handover.

How delivery runsThe principal sets the brief. Parallel agent lanes each produce a pull request. Every pull request passes one review gate, then goes to production.Principal sets the briefAgent laneAgent laneAgent lanePull requestPull requestPull requestReview gateProduction
